Use coins and bills to help solve.
A. $1.52
B. $2.42
C. $2.52
D. $12.42

Answer 1

B. $2.42

Explanation:

If Liam gave the clerk three $10 bills, that means he gave the clerk $30. This is because 3 times 10 equals 30.

Find how much change he will receive by subtracting $27.58 from the $30 that Liam gave to the clerk:

30 - 27.58

= 2.42

So, Liam will receive $2.42 in change.

The correct answer is B. $2.42

Answer 2

2.42

Explanation:

3 ten dollar bills = 3*10 = 30 dollars

Subtract the cost of pizza and wings

30 - 27.58

Line up the decimals

30.00

- 27.58

2.42
